>This tool can commit redologs into flat images. </P
><P
>For now, only "undoable" redologs to flat image commits are supported. 
Sparse disk image commits may be added in the future. </P
><P
>This tool is completely interactive, and does not need any command line parameter.
Bxcommit asks for the flat image name, the redolog name, and whether to remove
to redolog file after it commits it.</P
